Mayor Eric Adams insisted again Friday that he can’t just issue an executive order rolling back sanctuary city law, as the Trump administration amped up pressure with a new lawsuit targeting the pro-migrant policies.

The U.S. Department of Justice is suing New York City and Mayor Eric Adams over its sanctuary city policies, according to Attorney General Pam Bondi. In a post on social media Thursday afternoon, Bondi said Adams and the city are “continuing to obstruct law enforcement” with the sanctuary city laws in place.
